The Bhumkal rebellion of 1910 was the largest adivasi rebellion of its time in Bastar. It symbolized the struggle of adivasis against an alien rule attempting to remould the adivasi pattern of life. Today bastar is once again the battleground between the exploiters and the exploited.Victory will come to the adivasi masses.Jai Bastar !

“How can you do this to your own people?”- Forces on rampage in South Bastar

On the 9th of November, 2009, security forces had raided the village of Tatemargu of Konta Block, Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh.

Once news of the approaching forces reached the village, all the villagers ran into the jungle with what they could carry. They scattered in all directions and only returned once they got news that the security forces had left their village. They returned to find burning homes and distraught villagers who were taken into custody by the security forces, and then released in the village itself. They told the rest of the villagers their stories and identified those who was taken away. Many took their time to return from the jungle. And only once all the villagers were back and reunited, did they begin to piece together what had happened – and who was missing.
